Help with magpierss

Captain Clay · 08-21-2008, 05:46 AM

Hey all,

Can someone please offer a suggestion. I'm using magpierss but I don't want to display the "email this" and bookmark links at the end of each item description. (I know this is rather specific - I can't seem to find a solution for this ANYWHERE!) Any help much appreciated...

This is what I've got:

PHP Code:

 
  ...

 
  <!-- start magpie rss feed -->

  <?php include('rss_fetch.inc');

 
    $rss = fetch_rss($url);

 
    if ($rss)

    {

 
      // Split the array to show first 5

      $items = array_slice($rss->items, 0, 5);

 
      // Cycle through each item and echo

      foreach ($items as $item ) 

      {

      echo '<div class="newsheader">';

      echo '<a href="'.$item['link'].'">'.$item['title'].'</a>';

      echo '</div>';

      echo $item['description'];

      }

      //description includes email and bookmark links...

 
      ...

Thanks in advance...

Clay

you'll want to use preg_replace to remove the email and bookmark links from the description if you have an example output I can give you the regex

Thanks for the reply Baxter.

Yeah, therein lies the problem. The description seems to only include the text before the email/bookmark. I'm a bit green to php so stumbling my way through - how should I get an example (other than the straight text above these elements) that I could then strip with preg_replace?
